Thomas Rhett received a total of three ACM Awards nominations this year, which was definitely a surprise, in the best way possible. Finding out his album, Tangled Up, is nominated for Album of the Year, was huge, because Thomas says, “When I got that nomination I was a little bit in shock because for the last couple years I feel like I’ve been nominated for like the New Artist nominee, or Breakthrough this, or New Artist that, and so it’s nice to be put into a category that kind a feels like one of the big dog categories, if you will, and especially to be in that category with records that I’m just blow away with and infatuated with.
In addition to Tangled Up being nominated for Album of the Year, his six-week #1 song, “Die A Happy Man,” was also nominated for Single of the Year, and Thomas says, “Those two nominations mean, they just mean the world to me. It’s an honor to know that the people in the industry think that those things are worth being in those categories. So, I’m really excited to be out in Vegas and get to watch that show and be a part of it.”
Tangled Up also features Thomas’ latest single, “T-shirt,” which is currently in the top 20 on the charts and steadily climbing.
Thomas will perform on the 51st ACM Awards, which will air live from Las Vegas, at 8/7p CT, on CBS.

Thomas Rhett – ACM album nom :42
“That’s been the coolest part. You know, when I got that nomination I was a little bit in shock because for the last couple years I feel like I’ve been nominated for like the New Artist nominee, or Breakthrough this, or New Artist that, and so it’s nice to be put into a category that kind a feels like one of the big dog categories, if you will, and especially to be in that category with records that I’m just blow away with and infatuated with. So, if the ACM is to honor me with that album, it’s like one of those things like, man, maybe I should trust my gut one more time to see if it works again. But, I don’t know, I just believe in that album so much, and as much as I was apprehensive and nervous about puttin’ it out, it’s nice to take chances and then people listen to it and love it and nominate you for somethin’ like that. It’s really, really, really humbling.”

Thomas Rhett – ACM nominations :30
“You know, I didn’t even know that they were being announced, honestly. I’d just gotten back from the road and I woke up one mornin’ with about a hundred text messages saying congrats on your three ACM nominations. So, to be nominated for one ACM is incredible, but to be nominated for three, especially with ‘Die A Happy Man’ being nominated for ‘Single of the Year’ and ‘Album of the Year’, those two nominations mean, they just mean the world to me. It’s an honor to know that the people in the industry think that those things are worth being in those categories. So, I’m really excited to be out in Vegas and get to watch that show and be a part of it.”
